Fife Computing Science Progression
The Technologies Curriculum has been split into five curricular organisers, two of which are related to digital learning. These are Digital Literacy (including Cyber Security and Internet Safety) and Computing Science.
Click on each curricular organiser to view the progression pathway.
This progression pathway is intended to provide a framework for practitioners as they plan and deliver Computing Science to ensure all learners have the skills and experiences required to use digital tools safely to support their learning across the curriculum.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This programme is extensively based on the guidance and recommendations of the Curriculum for Excellence and Benchmarks set out by Education Scotland.
These progressions allow for a fluidity of approaches that facilitate the opportunity for learners to think creatively and independently, whilst at the same time supporting practitioners to plan in a structured and coherent way. Using these shared standards and expectations within Schools, Clusters and Local Improvement Forums across Fife will ensure that all learners have an equitable experience to develop skills for their learning, life, and work.
The Fife Digital Learning and Literacy Progression has been developed from the PICT (Progression in Information Communication Technology) in collaboration with the Fife Digital Learning Team and BTS Education staff. This programme supersedes the previous PICT v3 content to reflect the developments since its launch, both in terms of technology and their applications. Consideration has been given to sustainable resources that are also GDPR compliant, with scope for future changes.
We would like to acknowledge the efforts of Fife practitioners in supporting the development of the Fife Digital Learning and Literacy Progression through engaging with consultations and providing feedback on the programme. This has been crucial in ensuring that the programme is cohesive, progressive and practical.
